Well done Mrs M. That is a lovely design. And I really love the forest light one. I vote you finish that one so I can see whole design and decide if I can justify adding it to my huge stash (though not as impressive as Ruths).

I managed about 30 stitches yesterday, I never realised how hard it would be getting anything done when I'd much rather pull faces and play with Kezia. She didn't sleep a great deal yesterday either but I'm hoping today will be better. Still snowbound so the perfect excuse.

Hope everyone is safe and warm.

I now too have this pattern - tho no materials - I am half thinking of doing it after the floral alphabet.

Kind wishes

PS Ruth - your stash is massive.

I remember a while ago someone was after a Tatty Teddy design-possibly for a wedding? It might be too late, but I found a chart in a shop over Christmas & picked it up if anyone wants it. It was a free chart published by Anchor a while ago. I stitched it for my friend's wedding, adding my own lettering...



If anyone wants it, let me know...

:rotfl:another Harry Hill fan I see :rotfl:
Im determined to finish off "forest light" -then I will have to decide betwen those 2 I have all the threads for both and the fabric for the orange one ... just need fabric for the 2nd --- I Reallllly should do the orange one as I have had it longer ...and amazingly I love it just as much as when I first saw it :j....oooohhhh I don't know
Its really strange I have loads of patience for big designs -but the small ones drive me nuts they just don't hold my interest very much ..I guess Im a bit of an odd bod

Mum loved her "in her garden" -but I have made it clear that there is NO way Im doing the other one in the set as it drove me nuts what with backstitch, cording and couching :eek: -so she is getting it to do herself

Right -back to my sewing I think :j -hope everyone is finding time for at least a few stitches

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but am I right in thinking that Eva Rosenstand kits only use full stitches, I'm not very good with half stitches etc. I seem to recall that I read sometime ago that this is so, but I may have got the company mixed up with another one.

Many thanks.
